Atletico Madrid vs Real Sociedad Betting Tip and Prediction. In the 30th round in Spanish Primera Division Atletico Madrid host Real Sociedad at Vicente Calderon.
Atletico Madrid stand at the 4th position and the first position is far from them. Barcelona have nine points more than Atletico, so it will be very hard for team from Madrid to retain the title. However, their main goal is to finish the season at the top 3 and qualify in the UEFA Champions League directly.
After they eliminated Bayer Leverkusen in the 1/8 finals of CL they have two consecutive wins in Primera and want to keep the good form and be ready for the first leg against Real Madrid in the Quarter-finals of Champions League. In the first part of the season, Real Sociedad beat Atletico Madrid at home 2-1 and it would be a good chance for Diego Simeone’s team to revenge.
For this match home team have many problems with unavailable players. The first goalkeeper Moyá (27/0 gk), Juanfran (27/0 d), Godín (28/3 d), Raúl García (24/4 m) and their second top scorer Mandzukic (24/12 f) are all out.
Real Sociedad stand at the middle of the table – they are far from the relegation zone, while on the other side they have small chances to reach the place which leads in some of the European competitions next season. The visitors play very solid at home, but on the away ground in Primera they have managed to win only once this season (1-7-6).
Their recent form is very good – in the last eight matches they lost only once. They don’t have nothing to lose, they are not under pressure, so I expect that they will go in this match to make positive result. If won’t be an easy job, because Atletico Madrid is the best home team in Primera this season and they lost only once this season at Vicente Calderon (12-2-1).
Real Sociedad also have some problems with injuries. Three defenders: Ansotegi (18/0 d), Iñigo Martínez (27/3 d) and De la Bella (17/0 d) are all out, while their top scorer Carlos Vela (21/7 f) is doubtful.
I expect an interesting match between Atletico Madrid vs Real Sociedad and no more than 3 goals.
